Father's Day will soon be here, and again we have the favorite question - "What am I going to get for a gift, that is different, unique but sentimental in a manish sort of way?". Stumped? Here are a few ideas I hope will help you out.
Photo books
What could be more perfect than a photo book containing some meaningful snapshots for all these different types of dads, grandads and uncles:
- Sports Addicts - get pictures of THEM playing sports - this will do wonders for their manly ego!
- Hunters and fishermen - get pictures of THEM with all their great catches - a great brag book!
- Devoted family man - get pictures of the family - all men have some sentiment and this will touch them deeply! This is also a great gift idea for grandads and uncles (pictures of them and their family growing up).
- Computer geeks - send him a digital photobook or scrapbook page of favorite times spent together - he'll love it!
- Cooks - make a photo recipe book - he'll love you for it! You will probably benefit by getting some great meals too!
- Veterans - make a photo book of pictures from the good old days in the service.
After considerable review I have found several sites that have a good product, price and service for one of these photo books. All you do is upload the photo, add text, and voila your gift is complete. Take a look around these sites and see all the options they offer you:
photoWorks.com has all sizes of sofcover and hardcover photo books. They are offering free shipping on photo books if you use the code on their site, (the offer expires June 30th).

To make a photo recipe book, the best site I have found is Smilebox.com - it's so easy too! You just upload recipes, photos and any special text and you have the perfect gift for the man cook in your family!
Also, satisfying the geek component of the man in your family will have to be completed on Smilebox.com. They have an awesome selection of designs for slideshows and digital scrapbooking, put to music - there is no match!
